Full details

The New Balance 574 Core is an ideal choice for active children who need a reliable, everyday sneaker that balances style with everyday comfort. Known for its versatile hybrid road-and-trail design, this shoe is built on a wider platform to provide stability for growing feet, making it a perfect staple for school or play. While the shoe offers excellent durability and classic aesthetic appeal, the suede and leather materials do require regular maintenance to keep them looking fresh against daily wear.

FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash the 574 due to the suede and leather materials, which can be ruined by immersion in water.

Does this model come in other colors?

Yes, the 574 series is available in a variety of colorways including grey, black, and various other combinations.

Is the sole removable?

The inner sockliner is typically removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if needed.

How do I know if the size 13 fits?

There should be about a thumb's width of space between the child's longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for growth.

Can these be used for sports?

While they are comfortable and durable for casual sports and recess play, they are classified as trainers or lifestyle sneakers rather than dedicated high-performance athletic shoes.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on suede upper

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt; avoid using water directly on the suede.

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure a double knot is used, or consider swapping for elastic 'no-tie' laces if the child struggles with traditional tying.

Scuff marks on the leather portion

Use a damp, soft cloth with a mild leather cleaner or a tiny amount of soap to gently wipe the area clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 574 trainers, it is recommended to apply a water and stain repellent spray before the first use, especially given the suede components. For routine care, wipe away loose dirt with a soft brush after wear. If the shoes get wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather and glue to warp. Because these are UK size 13, ensure they are paired with appropriate cotton or moisture-wicking socks to maintain foot hygiene and comfort throughout the day.
